Allen's frugalness seems extreme for nearly any team at this point. But for the Redskins, it's insane. There is no way of learning this, but I wonder if all the weird investments over the years - Six Flags, whatever that thing with Tom Cruise was, Johnny Rockets, Red Zebra - have started to impact the one true cash cow in Dan's portfolio. For a large part of Dan's reign, the Redskins were able to use their money advantage to overpay on signing bonuses - cash kills cap, etc. Art once wrote a piece on it, mocking other teams. Now, we are exclusively bargain hunters. I don't know Low-balling players has always been Bruce's MO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was the highest rated QB since Elway to come out in the draft. His skillset is unreal, just health, of course. Heard a quote yesterday about Sam's money I have to share. Aaron Rodgers was drafted in 2005 and Sam Bradford was drafted in 2010. Both have made over 130 million in their careers to this point but Sam's made 5 million more lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the plunge in saying I would like to sign Jordy, and if the Raiders do it that means Crabs becomes available and I would love to see them sign him too. Both would be Veteran leaders on the team and help all these new guys. Or would the Raiders trade Amari Cooper? I'd do that too. The Raiders have a lot of great receivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the classic quote from Lions fans is that the owner is cheap? Their operating income (net of stadium revenues used for debt payments), was in the red (below zero) between 2010 and 2014. But still made a yearly revenue in that periode between 200 en 250 milion. Source: the internet.

Voice_of_Reason Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 @bobandweave regarding your comment about Raiders receivers, and possibly trading for them, I believe their HC and our HC have a precious relationship.

Mannix Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I like the Redskins approach so far. I had Richardson pegged as the Tyreek Hill component for Smith some time ago. (Just to be clear I don’t think Richardson is as good as Hill I also thought Albert Wilson was a real possibility). I don’t get the lust for the big name signings. When I think Redskins I think first of Albert Haynesworth then of off seasons with more free agent signings than draft picks. I don’t think Sheldon Richardson or Suh seem worth the coin. I would hesitate on Poe (has a bad back) but might entertain Logan particularly if Vae isn’t the pick. Your run defense was horrid (statistically worse than the Chiefs but I think the Chiefs performed worse). I thought Logan performed reasonably well, the real issue were the linebackers behind him. I would try to sign Zac Brown. The scenrio I think is best for skins is Vae as the draft pick with the resigning of Brown. Obviously Logan would give you more flexibility come draft time. The signing of Logan then with a trade down might be almost as appealing. Adding Logan with Van Der Esch also seems like a good scenario. What kind of compensation do you think Washington could receive for Reed? I personally think 3rd round is a view through Burgundy glasses but I think if you could generate a third or fourth rounder it would be worth it.

Darth Tater Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 1 hour ago, DC9 said: Philly added about 5 pieces to put them over the top. They were a VERY good team and had a very good defense in 2016. They were in every game and almost beat us both times (I was at the game in Philly). They just literally had no weapons. They weren't as bad off as people thought they were and as we saw in the playoffs they were very well coached. Everyone on here seemed to disagree with me that they were just a few weapons away... well, they got a bunch of RBs and Alshon. Thing is, the difference between winning and losing in the NFL is at such a tight margin. Let us take a look at our season as an example. In that first game against the Eagles, we were just an interception away from taking the lead in the early 4th and if Doctston doesn't drop that pass against KC, we probably start the season 5-0. Call the obvious hold when Carson Wentz scrambled for a first down on their last TD drive, we'd have been in that one at least until late in Q4. A blocked FG in the Dallas game that could have put us up 16-7 going into the half and likely have won it 23-19. If we could execute a basic QB sneak, we would have beat NO, even after that, the call on Fuller that negated his interception was a bit questionable. If Kirk Cousin does not throw an interception at the end of the half against Minnesota, we might have had a real chance to pull that one. Big time injury issues. Win those and avoid injuries while winning the ones we did, we are the ones going into the last game with the division and probably HFA. Look at it the other way round, wins over LA, SFO, Seattle and Arizona could easily have been losses. If we had lost those, we'd likely be the cellar team of the NFC east and in either case you aren't really talking about much difference in the level of play between going 13-3, 7-9 and 3-13.

RabidFan Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'm surprised we haven't heard from Jess McLoughan on how Bruce is handling things. Ha Glad we passed on Poe for that money but that forces our hand on Vea or Payne so one better fall. If we can sign Honey Badger (it'd be worth it for his youth and versatility and Nicholson's unproven health for 16 games), we can be ok with DT vs a Derwin James or CB if they fall. Though we might not be able to pass from James but then he'd have to be our leading tackler without a stud NT/DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Seems like we have a clear 7/8mil per year upper limit. Happy enough with that, we also get to preserve our 3rd round comp pick next year by keeping a lid on contracts. However, I would pay big for HB and the bonus is he was released so no effect on comp picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
